Aug 18	comment	Why was language not utilized to establish dominance throughout England 1066 AD–1360s CE? The Celtic language existed in the land prior to the Old English language which would eventually replace it. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_the_English_language This was not due to genocide either but rather assimilation. englishclub.com/english-language-history.htm Germanic tribes of the Angles, the Saxons and the Jutes all spoke Englisc and the assimilation in turn created what we refer to as Old English. The irony to me is that (Norman) French did not do the same, taking English as its own. Instead it seems the opposite occurred.
Aug 18	comment	Why was language not utilized to establish dominance throughout England 1066 AD–1360s CE? I don't believe this is an example of projecting modern conditions on history. The written language of Old English in fact was all but gone throughout this time period and as for the spoken language it transformed dramatically as the "French" language provided heavy influence. Perhaps this previous comment helps explain my question.

Aug 17	comment	Why was language not utilized to establish dominance throughout England 1066 AD–1360s CE? @SevenSidedDie Perhaps you should provide an answer rather than comment. I am only interested in gaining a better understanding to my question. Like you... I am not so interested in a debate via comment.
Aug 17	comment	Why was language not utilized to establish dominance throughout England 1066 AD–1360s CE? @SevenSidedDie That isn't true either. The Celtic language existed in the land prior to the Old English language which would eventually replace it. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_the_English_language This was not due to genocide either but rather assimilation. englishclub.com/english-language-history.htm Germanic tribes of the Angles, the Saxons and the Jutes all spoke Englisc and the assimilation in turn created what we refer to as Old English.

Aug 17	comment	Why was language not utilized to establish dominance throughout England 1066 AD–1360s CE? @SevenSidedDie. My example of Alfred the Great certainly does not represent a "modern political idea" (as this was done in the 10th century) yet he acheived his goal of promoting (promulgating) "his" code of laws/conduct. This was achievable because it was written in vernacular. Without doubt with this method, change would be slow. However, we are talking about 300 years which could easily represent 12 generations.
Aug 17	comment	Why was language not utilized to establish dominance throughout England 1066 AD–1360s CE? @SevenSidedDie Those that speak your language are easier to control/manipulate/influence. This was known prior to the Norman invasions.Link to quote in previous comment: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/…
Aug 17	comment	Why was language not utilized to establish dominance throughout England 1066 AD–1360s CE? @SevenSidedDie As for why to eliminate the English language (not "Nation"): I'll give you an example of utilizing language benefited those "in charge." Alfred the Great had a number of passages of the Bible circulated in the vernacular about 900, and in about 970 an inter-linear translation was added in red to the Lindisfarne Gospels. These included passages from the Ten Commandments and the Pentateuch, which he prefixed to a code of laws he promulgated around this time.
Aug 17	comment	Why was language not utilized to establish dominance throughout England 1066 AD–1360s CE? @SevenSidedDie I don't believe it is accurate to suggest that the government in the 14th century was "entirely different" as what was first implemented by William the Conquerer. Also, It seems to me that the influence of (Norman) French, or Old French, was widespread. Names of not only nobility but peasants became Old French names.
